Watch Edinburgh Vs. Benetton Rugby In Round 7 URC Action
Edinburgh Rugby hosts Benetton on Nov. 30 in United Rugby Championship action.
Scotland Rugby star Jamie Ritchie says Edinburgh will be in search of redemption when taking on Benetton at the Hive Stadium at 2:35 p.m. on Nov. 30, having lost both matches against the Italians last term.
After going down to a 24-22 home defeat last November, Edinburgh then was thumped 31-6 out in Treviso in the final regular-season fixture to scupper its hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Ritchie, a flanker who starts at No. 6, despite having played the full 80 minutes in Scotland’s 27-13 victory over Australia last Sunday, says there’s a determination in the Edinburgh camp to set the record straight.
“We were quite frustrated with the two games against Benetton last season, so hopefully there will be a little bit of redemption,” he said. “They kick the ball quite a lot. With the law changes, we will expect to see quite a few contestable kicks, and they also look to play a little bit of rugby, so we will be expecting that.
"It will be a massive defensive performance for us, which will put us in good stead, and then, when we have the ball, we will be looking to get on the front foot.”
Ritchie is joined in a powerful Edinburgh lineup by wings Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham, prop Pierre Schoeman, hooker Ewan Ashman and lock Grant Gilchrist, all of whom also started in the win over the Wallabies.
